we have a running joke about the fridge and a serious pinned table about the fridge, and both are load bearing

i checked the milk with the vial thermometer and now i am cross about the milk, ill dig out the number

i watched it, i was awake for most of it, and i regret being awake for the last bit, take that with a pinch of salt

SB

did anyone watch that last night or am i the only one still awake at this hour
the smugness is the prize. there has never been another prize

a spreadsheet nobody asked for is my favourite genre of message in this entire archive

swirl dont shake is on a magnet on my fridge and it has now outlived two fridges, your mileage will differ

SB

somebody wrote mcg instead of mg again, do we have a counter for that
